Does Microsoft.CodeCoverage require any SKU of Visual Studio?

Is any SKU of Visual Studio required to use Microsoft.CodeCoverage?

[nohwnd]

I don't think so, it is included in the TestPlatform nuget package as well. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.TestPlatform/17.9.0-preview-23531-01

Thanks, @nohwnd.

How can I know for sure that a license is not required?

This is used like coverlet, right? Just add the NuGet package to the project.

The package is distributed via nuget, it's closed source, but free. You don't need to buy VisualStudio to use it.

@jakubch1 do you have some getting started guide for Microsoft.CodeCoverage?

[Evangelink]

This might be a good starting point: https://github.com/microsoft/codecoverage

[paulomorgado]

That's where I started, @Evangelink.

But I found nothing related to licensing. Can you point me to a more specific doc?

I did find some usage docs at https://github.com/microsoft/codecoverage/tree/main/docs

@jakubch1 is owning the tool and will provide the 100% safe answer but as far as I can see from the NuGet package license file https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.CodeCoverage/17.9.0-preview-23531-01/License it's a simple MIT so there should be no problem using it.

@paulomorgado There is no problem using it. It is also dependency of https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NET.Test.SDK so you don't need to reference directly in csproj.

Thanks @jakubch1.

So, I just need to remove coverlet and run dotnet test --collect "Code Coverage;Format=cobertura".
